29.Sh NAME
30.Nm acl_get_entry
31.Nd retrieve an ACL entry from an ACL
32.Sh LIBRARY
33.Lb libc
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In sys/types.h
36.In sys/acl.h
37.Ft int
38.Fn acl_get_entry "acl_t acl" "int entry_id" "acl_entry_t *entry_p"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Fn acl_get_entry
42function
43is a POSIX.1e call that retrieves a descriptor for an ACL entry
44specified by the argument
45.Fa entry_d
46within the ACL indicated by the argument
47.Fa acl .
48.Pp
49If the value of
50.Fa entry_id
51is
52.Dv ACL_FIRST_ENTRY ,
53then the function will return in
54.Fa entry_p
55a descriptor for the first ACL entry within
56.Fa acl .
57If a call is made to
58.Fn acl_get_entry
59with
60.Fa entry_id
61set to
62.Dv ACL_NEXT_ENTRY
63when there has not been either an initial successful call to
64.Fn acl_get_entry ,
65or a previous successful call to
66.Fn acl_create_entry ,
67.Fn acl_delete_entry ,
68.Fn acl_dup ,
69.Fn acl_from_text ,
70.Fn acl_get_fd ,
71.Fn acl_get_file ,
72.Fn acl_set_fd ,
73.Fn acl_set_file ,
74or
75.Fn acl_valid ,
76then the result is unspecified.
77.Sh RETURN VALUES
78If the
79.Fn acl_get_entry
80function successfully obtains an ACL entry, a value of 1 is returned.
81If the ACL has no ACL entries, the
82.Fn acl_get_entry
83returns a value of 0.
84If the value of
85.Fa entry_id
86is
87.Dv ACL_NEXT_ENTRY
88and the last ACL entry in the ACL has already been returned by a
89previous call to
90.Fn acl_get_entry ,
91a value of 0 will be returned until a successful call with
92.Fa entry_id
93of
94.Dv ACL_FIRST_ENTRY
95is made.
96Otherwise, a value of -1 will be returned and
97the global variable
98.Va errno
99will be set to indicate the error.
100.Sh ERRORS
101The
102.Fn acl_get_entry
103fails if:
104.Bl -tag -width Er
105.It Bq Er EINVAL
106Argument
